Uplay crashing. Where is the Uplay launcher installed?

When starting Anno 1404, the Ubisoft laucher always crashes with this error: "Uplay has detected an unrecoverable error and must shutdown". The solution appears to be to remove Uplay and have steam reinstall the launcher.

My question is: Where is the launcher located on a linux machine? I know where steams installs the games, but the solutions point me to a location on a Windows install ("Appdata")

Thanks for the reply.

Is removing Uplay simply a matter of deleting the map with this appid? Will Steam automatically recreate the contents of this map?

Tried it, didn't solve the problem. Apparently the problem is deeper than a corrupt Uplay installation.
